SNAP

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

For decades, this program was called “Food Stamps.”

In 2008, in an effort to fight stigma, the name was changed to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). ‍

Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows a person to use a debit card (looks like a visa card) to buy groceries.
